Zelensky Urges Modi to Leverage Influence to End Ukraine Conflict

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi can play a pivotal role in pressuring Russia to cease its invasion.

Zelensky has called on Modi to halt India's economic support for Russia, suggesting this could diminish Moscow's war capabilities.
India's significant trade with Russia, including increased oil purchases, has drawn criticism for indirectly supporting the invasion.
Zelensky proposes India host a future peace summit, emphasizing Modi's potential to mediate negotiations.
India's historical ties with Russia complicate its position, as it has refrained from condemning the invasion while advocating for peace.
Zelensky also urges Modi to help repatriate Ukrainian children allegedly taken to Russia, highlighting the humanitarian aspect of the conflict.
